Breast Enlargement FAQs
1. Is breast augmentation right for me?
If you want to change the size of your breasts, then breast enlargement surgery can help you. You may feel that you’re flat-chested or you may simply want larger breasts.
If you’re unhappy with your breasts, whatever the reason, we’ll talk to you about achieving the look you want.
2. Is breast enlargement sutiable after having children?
Yes. So many mums come to us for breast enhancement surgery. Pregnancy and breast-feeding can take their toll on your breasts. Many women find they no longer feel confident about their shape and choose breast enlargement to create fuller curves.
3. My breasts have lost their volume. Can breast enhancement help?
Yes. Losing weight can cause your breasts to lose volume. The same can happen as a result of the ageing process. Breast enlargement surgery replaces lost volume and gives your breasts the fullness you want.
4. How do I know which size is right for me?
You can discuss the breast size you want with a Transform breast Surgeon at your free consultation. Your Surgeon will give you individual recommendations and advice and tell you how you can achieve the look you want.
5. Who manufactures the implants Transform use?
Transform's implants are manufactured by Allergan. Allergan have been manufacturing implants for 25 years and are used in 60 countries around the world. The implants we use come with a comprehensive 10-year warranty.
6. Where will my implants go?
There are two placement options for your breast implants.
Implants can be placed in front of the pectoral muscle. This often happens when there’s breast tissue or excess skin that needs to be filled, for example, after breastfeeding.
Alternatively, implants can be placed behind the pectoral muscle. This normally happens when there’s a lack of breast tissue or no excess skin to fill.
7. Who will perform my breast surgery?
At Transform, you’re in the care of highly qualified and experienced people every step of the way. All our medical professionals have a licence to practice and are registered with the General Medical Council.
We select only the most knowledgeable and skilled Surgeons so you can be sure you’ll get the results you want. Our Anaesthetists are Consultant Anaesthetists. That means they have the highest level of experience possible.
8. Where will my surgery take place?
You will be cared for in one of our regulated cosmetic surgery hospitals. These are centres of clinical excellence and are regulated by the Care Quality Commission. As a patient of Transform you will only ever experience exemplary standards of care, hygiene and facilities.
9. Can I combine breast surgery with other procedures?
Yes, you can. Your Surgeon might suggest an associated procedure such as a breast uplift (mastopexy) to create the look you want.
You might also choose to combine breast enlargement with a different procedure such as liposuction. Your Surgeon will discuss the options available to you.
10. When can I go back to work?
Everyone is different, but on average, breast surgery patients need to wait a week before going back to work after breast enhancement.
Your breasts will be a little tender and swollen after breast surgery so it’s good to wear a sports bra at first for extra comfort. We suggest you wait 6 to 8 weeks before doing strenuous exercise or lifting.
11. What about aftercare?
To ensure the best recovery, you’ll have a post-operative appointment with a clinic Nurse and a review with your Surgeon. They’ll discuss your breast surgery and aftercare, check everything is healing well and make sure you’re happy with the results.
If you have any questions or concerns after your procedure, you can also talk to our resident medical officer at any time on the 24/7 Transform Patient Helpline.
12. How much does breast enlargement cost?
Breast surgery prices start from £3,695. At Transform, we offer flexible finance options so you can spread the cost of your breast enhancement surgery.
The above price is a guideline only and will vary for each individual case. Your patient care co-ordinator will be happy to discuss any requirements with you and answer your questions.
